To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Time-honor'd rabbi, elders, sages, guides And masters of our Israel ! ye, by whom 280 Our synagogues are taught, of God's own law Interpreters ordain'd, which of your grave And reverend council will at once unfold To my yet faithless ears the mighty spell By which this Jesus works ? Who will expound This prodigy, that sets the crowd agape, 286 This more than man, of whom the people bruit These more than human doings ? You are dumb ; None offers a reply ; for none will say This wisdom and these ...mighty works accord 290.
With one so mean of birth, with Joseph's son, A base mechanic : Fitter task for him To use his father's craft, and humbly ply The workman's tools, than in the temple sit Disputing with our doctors ; or withdrawn, 295 As late the Baptist, to some desert mount.
There sit in sullen dignity enthron' d, And BOOK III. Ill And from his rocky theatre declaim To list'ning thousands. Here be some have heard His doctrines, many have endur'd his taunts, 300 And though in wise and well-pois'd minds like your's Such meteors breed no terror, yet they draw The gazing vulgar, and so rank a taint Runs through th' infected fold, that much I doubt If half the flock of Israel be not touch'd ; 305 So diligent is he to spread the plague, So careless we to stem it.
